Abstract

A vehicle battery mounting structure includes: an energy absorption member that is provided at a vehicle body lower side of a floor panel, and that includes a first side wall portion sloping toward a vehicle body upper outside at a vehicle width direction inside of the energy absorption member, as viewed from a vehicle body longitudinal direction; and a battery frame made of resin that is disposed at the vehicle width direction inside of the first side wall portion, that supports a battery, and that includes a second side wall portion sloping toward the vehicle body upper outside at the vehicle width direction outside of the battery frame, as viewed from the vehicle body longitudinal direction, and facing the first side wall portion in the vehicle width direction.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A vehicle battery mounting structure comprising:
 an energy absorption member that is provided at a vehicle body lower side of a floor panel, and that includes a first side wall portion sloping toward a vehicle body upper outside at a vehicle width direction inside of the energy absorption member, as viewed from a vehicle body longitudinal direction; and 
 a battery frame made of resin that is disposed at the vehicle width direction inside of the first side wall portion, that supports a battery, and that includes a second side wall portion sloping toward the vehicle body upper outside at a vehicle width direction outside of the battery frame, as viewed from the vehicle body longitudinal direction, and facing the first side wall portion across a gap in the vehicle width direction. 
 
     
     
       2. The vehicle battery mounting structure of  claim 1 , wherein the first side wall portion and the second side wall portion are formed parallel to each other, as viewed from the vehicle body longitudinal direction. 
     
     
       3. The vehicle battery mounting structure of  claim 1 , wherein an upper end face of the first side wall portion and an upper end face of the second side wall portion are at a same height position. 
     
     
       4. The vehicle battery mounting structure of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the battery frame includes a flange portion made of metal that projects out toward the vehicle width direction outside from a vehicle body upper side of the second side wall portion and that is fixed to a lower face side of the floor panel; and 
 a sloped portion is formed to the flange portion from a vehicle width direction upper outside toward a vehicle width direction lower inside.
